The City of Widows uncovers a segment of Indian society that seems to remain unchanged by time. Vrindavan, a small pilgrim city in northern India, is home to more than 16,000 abandoned widows. Deserted by their families or relatives who no longer want them, these women come to Vrindavan and spend the rest of their lives singing bhajans (holy hymns) in praise of Lord Krishna.
